Fairphone 6 stuck in bootloader after using the /e/ os installer

[Bartoch]

Hello,

I think the question has already been answered on the last post with this problem and apologise if so. But i’m not really sure if i’m in the same situation. I tried installing /e/ on my FP6 with the official installer. I knew about the risk of bricking and was ready to not lock again the bootloader (my Android patch was from 05/07 before trying the switch to /e/, which seems to be covered with the version in this link Install /e/OS on a Fairphone The Fairphone (Gen. 6) - “FP6” , may be not with the installer).

So now, after installer claimed sucess (last step), my phone is stuck on bootloader / START and bootloader again if I press power (the starting Fairphone animation briefly appears). But bootloader was originally 16.95.0 on the starting page (before the switch) and is now 15.176.0. and stuck (but still DEVICE STATE - unlocked, hopefully)

Should i try manually to install the latest version of /e/ os now ? ( Install /e/OS on a Fairphone The Fairphone (Gen. 6) - “FP6” ) Apologies if already answered, might as well be quicker to get to the correct answer. Thanks a lot,

Hello @Bartoch, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

Worked well thanks ! Now if i understood well, i must wait for the next security patch (post 5th of july) if i ever wanna lock again my bootloader (which isn’t a problem if i’m the only person having access to it physically).
